SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <openssl/ssl.h>

       SSL_CIPHER *SSL_get_current_cipher(
               SSL *ssl ); #define SSL_get_cipher(s) \
                        SSL_CIPHER_get_name(SSL_get_current_cipher(s))
 #define SSL_get_cipher_name(s) \
                        SSL_CIPHER_get_name(SSL_get_current_cipher(s))
 #define SSL_get_cipher_bits(s,np) \
                        SSL_CIPHER_get_bits(SSL_get_current_cipher(s),np)
 #define SSL_get_cipher_version(s) \
                        SSL_CIPHER_get_version(SSL_get_current_cipher(s))

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The SSL_get_current_cipher() function returns a pointer to
       an SSL_CIPHER object containing  the  description  of  the
       actually  used cipher of a connection established with the
       ssl object.

       The  SSL_get_cipher()  and  SSL_get_cipher_name()   macros
       obtain   the  name  of  the  currently  used  cipher.  The
       SSL_get_cipher_bits()  macro   obtains   the   number   of
       secret/algorithm  bits  used  and  the SSL_get_cipher_version()
 function returns the protocol name. See

       SSL_CIPHER_get_name(3) for more details.

RETURN VALUES    [Toc]    [Back]

       The SSL_get_current_cipher() function returns  the  cipher
       actually  used  or  NULL,  when no session has been established.
